Receive Highland Email at any Address

Students receive a free GroupWise Email account when they enroll at HCC (firstname.lastname@highland.edu). You will receive important communication from teachers and staff through this account. But if you prefer using different email address - one you use more frequently - you can easily re-direct your Highland email to another address. Ask the library staff for more information or assistance.

Great Deals on Cosmetology Services for Students

The salon is open Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Be sure to bring your cosmetology discount card when requesting services

Change in Emergency Closure Notification Procedures

The College now uses an automated emergency notification system to alert students and employees when the campus closes due to inclement weather or other emergency situations. The system will call students with a pre-recorded message from the College alerting students to the closure. Because our students commute, the phone calls will be made around 6:30 a.m. when the campus is closing in the morning. This new notification system will be in addition to the current process of notifying students through the radio and TV media and our College web site.

Recycle and Help HCC Save $ on Computer Products

What do you do with old cell phones or your used printer cartridges? Toss them? Not anymore.

Highland is now a participant in the Funding Factory recycling fundraiser program, which helps the College earn credit toward technology purchases at the same time it helps the environment. Drop off your empty inkjet and laser cartridges, as well as your old cell phones in one of the drop boxes located on the first floor in building H, M, or N. A list of recyclable products is located on the box.
